0 W/kg. Following a 24 h exposure, the lymphocytes were stimulated with the mitogen PHA and cultured for an additional 48 or 72 h to assess the frequencies of chromosomal aberrations and micronuclei. No evidence of either was found. 74 MHz CW RF on PB samples from four individuals [31]. 5 W/kg. No differences between test and control samples were found for cellular mitotic indices; frequencies of exchange aberrations; or presence of excess fragments, binucleate cells, or micronuclei. 7 mT [32].

They studied somatic intrachromosomal recombination in the spleen in recombination mutagenesis model betagalactosidase transgenic mouse pKZ1 [33]. While somatic intrachromosomal recombination inversion events are usually found in spleen cells of these transgenic mice, a decrease in the frequency of inversions was observed in the 25 d exposure group. 6 DNA Damage as Single-Strand and Double-Strand Breaks A variety of studies have been done to examine the effects of EMF on single-strand (SSB) and double-strand breaks (DSB), predominantly as an assessment of the ability of the exposure to induce DNA damage and therefore have mutagenic potential.

Except for some laboratory conditions where a sufficiently high potential difference can be applied directly across a biological membrane to bring about its destruction, collisional ionization is generally not a factor in the interaction of electromagnetic waves with tissue: The potential difference required for membrane destruction [29] is between 100 nV and 300 mV, corresponding to a field strength of the order of 2 Â 107 V=m, assuming a ˚ ; E ¼ V=d). However, there is a third mechanism of membrane thickness (d ¼ 100 A ionization that is particularly important in biological systems.
